Event: Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty dinner features local cuisine

Announcement from Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty:

Culinary enthusiasts shouldn’t miss this opportunity to savor the finest foods of the Finger Lakes at this locally sourced 5 course gourmet dinner paired with Finger Lakes wines on Thursday, August 5. Held in the pavilion outdoors on the stunningly beautiful grounds of Geneva on the Lake, the evening will begin at 6:30 with an hors d’oeuvres reception featuring the finest selection of Finger Lakes wines, artisan cheeses and fruits.

Throughout the evening enjoy music by Rebecca Colleen and the Chore Lads, and hear stories of the farmers, winemakers, specialty food producers, and chefs. A silent auction with the opportunity to bid on beautiful gift baskets and 'dinners for two' at the finest restaurants will conclude the evening and all guests will go home with a gift of handmade chocolates.

Tickets are $75 per person and may be purchased by contacting Geneva on the Lake at (315) 789-7190. Seating is limited so purchase early! Vegetarian options available, please request when purchasing tickets.

All proceeds from the event will benefit Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty as they strive to promote the Finger Lakes as a culinary destination and increase the economic viability of our region by connecting area farms, food producers, wineries and restaurants.
